A teacher at Trinity School recently shared online a poignant email from a friend in Kenya.

I think you will find her words interesting…

“In Nyeri, the school is still functioning as normal. Classes are still held and homework is given out as expected. However, at the moment, we are taking extra precaution by not having students leave the campus for cross country or other activities where the security might be questionable. At night, our security guards, armed with their usual bows and arrows, watch over us…”

“While there is no violence here, there is obvious tension around campus as the radio is constantly on in the staff room and conversations rarely touch on anything other than the current and developing situations in the country. ...

There's more of the email posted. It's worth reading.
